About the game
A small expansion that can be added to Xenoshft: Onslaught or the Xenoshyft: Dreadmire. This hellscape world’s inhabitants have evolved to survive it’s blazing temperatures, and the Xenosathem NorTec craves has only made the aliens a bigger threat. These new foes are known as the Cinderkin and are ready to burn NorTec’s efforts to the ground. A new Fire Tracker is being introduced that will increase enemy abilities and threaten the very base itself as the fire progresses. Of course, NorTec won’t just stand idly by. It’s developed some new special items that will help on this terrible world. These Emergency Supply Items differ from the equipment you’re familiar with because they are available to everyone at the start of the game and only come with one charge, requiring resources to be put into them to recharge. Xenoshyft: Immolation comes with the following: 52 Wave 1 Cinderkin Enemies 52 Wave 2 Cinderkin Enemies 52 Wave 3 Cinderkin Enemies 3 Emergency Supply Item Cards 1 Fire Tracker Card 1 Plastic Fire Counter
